quite possibly, something small like frank has.
ahh cheers kevand no sign of det yet
we,re back on full N/A atm (got it down to about 1/2hr mani change now lol)
so i will be able to race dave in the santa pod N/A category, and then race paul and mov 1/2 hr later (Y)
Sweet man that sounds like a good plan
How's the clutch holding up with turbo torques?
You gonna build a lower comp motor for the turbo setup?
Ill just use stock compression and try and do things semi proper but as budget as possible

so far so good on the clutch kev
and this new build is 10.5:1 mate, lpg pistons and 2 headgaskets to tighten the lower chain (Y) (going by my strobe the spark has terrible scatter at idle with a partworn lower chain)

I think the pain of swapping and boost withdrawl will see that you don't
Cool LPG engine that though, monster find......kinda of reminds me of the Jag XK 4.2 engine we got from a Scimitar tank, except they are quite mentally modified!
What's top ring land measure from the crown down to the first ring on those pistons? Will be mildly crappier on HC emissions due to a minor increase in dead volume but nothing the cat wont handle come MOT time....

Awesome! Hopefully once I fit my hybrid clutch plate ill have very capable setup!
I think its likely that ill try and push more boost and power than your setup but if boxes givr me trouble ill swap out for something more manly
Iam sticking with stock comp for ease
Iam familiar with spark scatter lol. A series is pron but it always due too warn dizzy bearings. I guess your cams, and therefore dizzy, isn't keeping perfect unison with bottom end due to slack in chain?

aye its a pita setting the timing kev, with the agressive inlet cam, lumpy idle, 2 slack chains and low oil pressure @ idle when hot, i seem to get a lot of scatter fwn you wont have that problem with the new crank sensor tho eh :grinning:
and the rings and lands are the same as the pre-coilpack pistons i think dave (but with oval skirts)
got to change the tune in the head for this onecue the eastenders tune again will lol

Don't get me wrong people i absolutely love the micra(s) but have been going up "north" recently a fair bit and the 240mile round trip is annoying at the very least in a fairly low stiff micra which is sitting at 3,200/3,400 rpm at 70mph.
And the road noise is horrendous!
still country lane driving of a nighttime cannot be beaten in this car! (Y)

ha ha... mine is the same! But more like 60mph & no idea of rpm, no rev counter!
Yes indeed crank sensor + wasted spark
Iam hoping to run two looms and ecu so i can switch back to standard at the road side by switching a few plugs over.
My megasquirt has got boost control, switchable maps, launch control ect so should be good if i can figure it all out again
do you think stock gasket thickness will be fine for me? My engine isn't that worn and as you say crank sensor will prevent any scatter issues!

sounds good kev :grinning: and paul (pollyp) has run quite high boost on his stock C/R engine eh (accidently lol :wasntme

Why not utilize the switchable maps in the Megasquirt rather than having the complications with wiring and plug swaps? That way you then have a base map to work with come boost time rather than having to start from scratch? Will also aid in re-learning how the ecu functions too?

Awesome
my rb25 is 9:1 as standard. It would be nice to run 10psi that's what the td04 was set at on the ca18det Yeah that's a good plan and its what ill most probably aim to do. However i would like to keep the stock setup BRIEFLY whilst I get the megasquirt working correctly. Once i can trust it i think ill remove the stock setup and then fit the turbo and get it mapped!
Cheers (Y)
Well, not today, but yesterday...
Went for a drive with the wife behind the wheel. The boy in the back seat, and his bike in the back. Going for a long walk in the woods, so drove a couple of km's on a dirt road with a few holes and bumps.
Then this happened...
Apparently, someone (only had the car for 1 month) welded some new crap material around the left rear shock mount. It's all gone!
So shock was just knocking around in the hole...
Drove back home with great care, and went about to find a cheap solution, untill I can afford to get it welded in january hopefully.
So, I found some thick aluminum discs/cups from an oversize bicycle headset. They're about 4 mm's thick, and the diameter fits quite well (about 3 mm bigger than the hole).
Placed one disc above the rubber on the shock (below the hole), and one on the inside. Put the washer/rubber/washer and nut back on, ang tightened it all up.
Went for a testdrive on a bumpy road, and it all held up fine. Should carry me through to january with no problems. :blush:
Someone should have this shock shoved somewhere dark and private... :glare:
Cheers,
U.

I parked it, between a 4x4...
and a Toyota Rav4
Also got it a GA16 tb and injectors for some trial and error, want to loose a second off 0-60

It's got a 1.3 so I'm quite jealous of it really.
Your turbo build's getting me quite excited now Frank. Been reading up on high comp turbos this week and it all sounds pretty good doesn't it!
I won't be turbo'd 'till march now though, too many commitments atm, but high compression with turbo looks like the way forward for a daily(Y)
Will you be experimenting with an intercooler at all?

cancelled the insurance, cancelled the tax. still has 9 months mot. (shame i can return that)..
just got to take the cage out, remove the exhaust, brakes, steering wheel, dash, dials, wheels, harnesses (takata and momo) nismo quick shift and ignition bits........ big hint guys....... all still FOR SALE. (apart from guages and dash (to glen) and roll cage (k11ss i think) the rest is still available...... Blitz genuine back box.. best sounding box ever.
mr2 has now been run in, and i wound her up to 8000rpm in 1st second and 3rd gears and hitting the limiter spits an evil flame out of both pipes!!!!!
C7R split rim wheels are in doncaster getting a full on £500 rebuild and refurb/repair...... wooo!!!

haha, cheers guys. i do change my mind quite a bit. but its all down to money. if it werent for the V6 mr2, i would have a turbo micra rally replica. but i dont....cos i have..lol
yeah the tom's C7R's are the best wheels available for the mr2. they were a factory option back in 1992 from Toyota team Tom's......

Tinkered some more and drove it around the block...
Annoyingly I think the coilover on passenger side is maybe one or two threads too low as its catching. :doh: (typical as i thought i'd finally sorted it).
BTW if anyones planning on bonding on spoilers etc, i've got a brand new unopened tube of adhesive sitting here (bought it then found i still had some left over in another tube)...that im happy to exchange for some pound coins.
